No, wanting to keep code that demonstrably has bugs according to its own specifications is crazy. What good could it possibly serve? It is corrupted and must be cleansed from your codebase.
Vigil will do this for you automatically.
Vigil deleted a function. Won't that cause the functions that call it to fail?
It would seem that those functions appear to be corrupted as well. Run Vigil again and it will take care of that for you. Several invocations may be required to fully excise all bugs from your code.
Same here. 143 days and counting. I have a Hughes HDVR2. I think this is only true for Series 2 DirecTivos though. If you have a Series 1 DirecTivo, such as the Sony SAT-T60, then you will get crippled functionality after 30 days without a call. You will not be able to record new shows, but you will still have "trick play" (pause-live TV, etc) and can still view previously recorded programming.
And phone line or not, you can always buy your Pay-Per-View shows by going to the DirecTV website.
Space could be finite if it has a convex curvature or an unusual topology (that is, interconnectedness). A spherical, doughnut-shaped or pretzel-shaped universe would have a limited volume and no edges. The cosmic microwave background radiation allows sensitive tests of such scenarios [see
"Is Space Finite?" by Jean-Pierre Luminet, Glenn D. Starkman and Jeffrey R. Weeks; Scientific American, April 1999]. So far, however, the evidence is against them. Infinite models fit the data, and strong limits have been placed on the alternatives.
Personally, I prefer to think that this universe may not be infinite, but an infinite number of the infinitely many parallel universes are!
The subject pretty much says it all. I have a Zaurus running Opera, with an 802.11b Compact Flash from ZCom. I also have a DirecTivo with a TivoNet card connected to my network running the TivoWeb service. So what good is all that? I can sit on my couch with the Zaurus and browse to my Tivo and change the channel, rewind, fast forward, etc. Pretty cool, eh?
OK, fine, I can do the same with my remote control, but Rube Goldberg would be so proud!
I find that sleeping for 10 hours and then staying awake for 20 hours works best for me. The problem is trying to get everyone else to work around my schedule! I've read that without light cues, people's circadian rhythms change by varying degrees. From the link above:
Experimenters have found that subjects under isolated conditions slept sometimes for 19 hours at a time, seemingly unaware of the time that had elapsed. Similarly, subjects sometimes stayed awake for as long as 30 hours, underestimating the length of their days. These outwardly bizarre sleep-wake cycles went unnoticed by subjects and had no adverse effects.
Kind of makes you wonder if our planet has always been spinning this fast, doesn't it?
The lawsuit will add a lot of legal fees to the cost of development, artificially driving up the retail price. Meanwhile, the networks will desperately look for ways to protect their content against fair use by consumers!
Don't be so quick to be proud! There's word that the DirecTV folks have pressured TiVo to include "protection" against hacking the DirecTiVo units in the new 2.5 upgrade. Details are still unclear, but according to http://www.avsforum.com/ubbtivo/Forum6/HTML/006643.html it seems that:
the new kernel keeps a cached copy of all files on the root partition and performs a checksum on power up. If any actual files in root don't checksum out correctly they are replaced (prior to boot) with the copies (stored in compressed form) in the kernel image.
This appears to be end of hacking on DirecTivo boxes.
Effectively, this locks out any changes such as getting a bash prompt via serial port or telnet via TivoNET from working with DirecTiVo 2.5! Too bad. It was rather refreshing to see a company as successful as TiVo letting hackers extend their systems unabated... until now...

Ah, Vigil! What a wonderfully amusing language...
https://github.com/munificent/vigil
But isn't a language that deletes code crazy?

That's what I do when my iPhone battery gets low anyway.

Print one of these and you'll have all the magic animated paper you need without electronics or drugs!

-RayFirst, I have to say, very cool. I saw the demo this morning and I can't wait to buy one.
Inevitably, people will hack these things as they do everything else. How would you trick your's out? Here's some ideas:
This is so similar to the RIAA injunction against Diamond for the RIO MP3 player. It should turn out about the same I would imagine:
The lawsuit will add a lot of legal fees to the cost of development, artificially driving up the retail price. Meanwhile, the networks will desperately look for ways to protect their content against fair use by consumers!
What a scam!
